Jiang Fan managed to hold out for three minutes, even though it would have taken only a minute to get out of the woods.
For no other reason than to kill a few Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito.
Yang Xiaoqiang and the others had already left the Mist Woods. They shouted at Jiang Fan, who was still frantically hacking and slashing at the edge of the forest.
" Tang Fan, we're all out now, you should come out quickly too!"
"Okay, okay, I'm coming right now!"
As he spoke, Jiang Fan cleaved a Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito in two with another stroke.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have successfully killed One Star monster. You have done a good deed. Your points have been increased by 50.]
Finally, he reluctantly left the woods.
As soon as Jiang Fan came out, Li Zhe went to greet him, his eyes full of concern.
Are you alright? Are you hurt?
Jiang Fan felt uneasy under the other person's intense gaze and subconsciously took a step back to keep his distance.
"Thankfully, I'm alright."
"Are you really alright? I just saw you surrounded by a bunch of Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito, how could you be completely fine? Don't be a brat, take off your clothes quickly, let me give you a proper check-up and apply some medicine."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan's lips twitched, and he quickly refused.
"Really, no need. I wasn't attacked by any of the Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito."
Just kidding, he's Spirit Master. When he was slaying the Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito, he used his Psychic Power to wrap his entire body, forming an invisible protective veil.
Whenever the Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito pierced him with their sharp proboscis, the rupture would shatter.
"Don't be shy, come on, let me help you take it off." Li Zhe reached out his hand.
Jiang Fan really wanted to kick Li Zhe away again.
"Let me take a moment to adjust my breathing."
Without wasting any time, he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground.
Seeing this, Li Zhe had no choice but to give up.
After her gaze lingered on Jiang Fan for two seconds, Lan Shengxue looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, let's rest here for a bit."
That fierce battle just now has taken a lot of toll on my energy.
Although they wanted to return before it got completely dark, they still needed to enter the Death Swamp to find the Black Lotus.
The dangers within the Death Swamp are no less than those in the Mist Woods; you must conserve your stamina.
Jiang Fan sat cross-legged on the ground, but he wasn't actually regulating his breathing; instead, he opened the system panel.
Points: 4102
Qi and Blood: 134N (+)
Psychic Power: 6312P(+)
Lottery: 100 points per draw
I just killed 20 Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito and earned 1000 points.
That speed is simply unbeatable.
Therefore, venturing into the wilderness to kill monsters is the right path for him to become a powerful figure.
The reason he chose to stay near the Mist Woods was to make it easier to use his Psychic Power to kill the Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito inside.
Let's do it!
Jiang Fan immediately spread his Psychic Power. He could now control a spatial dimension of over 600 meters, within which there were tens of thousands of Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito.
We're rich! We're rich!
Jiang Fan suppressed a chuckle, controlled his Psychic Power, and lifted up the three Eight-Legged Hedgehog Pig -like needles that he had deliberately thrown into the Mist Woods. Then, like a shooting star, he flew into the dense swarm of Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito, piercing one Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito another as if threading a needle.
For a moment, system notifications kept ringing in Jiang Fan's mind.
Because he killed too many enemies too quickly, the notification sounds overlapped and even covered each other, making his brain buzz.
Although the noise gave me a headache, it was truly enjoyable.
In no time at all, his points reached 10,000.
Jiang Fan almost burst out laughing with joy, and at the same time, he killed with even more gusto.
In just a few minutes, more than Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito were killed, and the points soared to nearly 30,000.
Another ten minutes passed, and with the score about to reach 100,000, Yang Xiaoqiang and the others had finished adjusting and looked at Jiang Fan, who was still meditating.
Lan Shengxue looked at Yang Xiaoqiang, Yang Xiaoqiang immediately understood and said to Zhou Xiaoyan, "Go and urge them."
"Yes, boss."
Just as Zhou Xiaoyan was about to go over, Li Zhe stopped her.
"How could you do this? Didn't you see he was still adjusting his breathing? He risked his life just now to cover our retreat!"
Xu Dai also stepped between Jiang Fan and Zhou Xiaoyan, intervening and saying, "He's right, are you still teammates?"
Looking at the two people standing side by side blocking his way, Zhou Xiaoyan couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
These two, who used to find Jiang Fan utterly unapproachable, are now protecting Jiang Fan like bodyguards to the school beauty.
Although Jiang Fan was frantically killing with his Psychic Power, it didn't prevent him from "seeing" what had just happened.
It's fortunate that those two helped stop him, otherwise his points wouldn't have broken through the 100,000 mark.
Upon opening the system panel, Jiang Fan was surprised to find that the system appeared to have been upgraded again.
Points: 114102
Qi and Blood: 134N (+)
Psychic Power: 6312P(+)
Lottery: 100 points per draw
Is the online store open (Yes/No)
"Of course it should be open!"
[Yes, Master, the shop will be open for you now.]
As the system announcement ended, the shop opened.
Jiang Fan immediately clicked on it.
Qi and Blood Fruit = 1000 points
Psychic Fruit = 100,000 points
Jiang Fan felt that the points required to exchange for the Qi and Blood Fruit were acceptable.
After all, by using just one Qi and Blood Fruit, one can ignore all conditions and have no side effects to increase one's Qi and Blood by 5N.
But this Psychic Fruit is too expensive, it costs a whopping 100,000 points!
If he hadn't entered the Inner Wilderness Zone, where there were enough monsters for him to kill, he would have spent more than a month grinding in the fortress, even if he went to find the Crazy Old Man.
If it weren't for the Crazy Old Man, how long would it take to finish scavenging for scraps?
However, after consuming the Psychic Fruit, Psychic Power doubles regardless of any conditions; this exaggerated increase is incomparable to that of the Qi and Blood Fruit.
His current points are 114102. If he were to exchange them all for Qi and Blood Fruit, he would receive 114 fruits, which would increase his Qi and Blood by 570N.
To reach the Martial Artist, one needs 200N of Qi and Blood, which is the standard for Early-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist.
Next is the Mid-Stage First Rank, which requires 300N of Qi and Blood, and the Late-Stage First Rank requires 500N.
Therefore, if he consumes all the Qi and Blood Fruit he has exchanged, he can definitely reach the Late-Stage First Rank.
If this were to get out, it would definitely cause a sensation throughout Huaxia.
Of course, he didn't intend to do that, mainly because his cultivation level had improved too quickly.
He has been cultivating for less than two months, and in less than two months he has gone from 19N to Late-Stage First-Rank Martial Artist. This rocket-like speed is bound to cause instability in his foundation.
Not only that, he might be treated as an outcast and taken away for dissection.
Furthermore, while browsing through materials in the library, he saw that the breakthroughs of Martial Artist were quite significant, and if he were to break through here, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
The enhancement of Psychic Power, however, happens imperceptibly.
But the thought of needing 100,000 points to exchange for a single Psychic Fruit still makes me wince.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and exchanged for the Psychic Fruit.
